Niaandboo,

The Data Protection Act entitles patients to their test results. Ask for the B12 result and range. If you are refused ask to speak to the practice manager. If necessary make a written subject access request but that can give the practice up to 40 days to comply and you need to know your B12 result now.

Thanks I have asked her to email said dr to get permission and ring me back will update when I hear otherwise I'm in on Tuesday morning with my own gp x
